Customer Reviews

Great Book!

My husband is a firefighter and my son is obsessed with everything having to do with firefighting. He loves this book. They love reading it together and it has a lot of educational details in it that others don't have. If your child is into more than simply looking at fire trucks and wants to learn more, this book is definately a must have.
